Adriana Sklenarikova was hired as one of the models for the Wonderbra, and she was popular in Europe for her Wonderbra billboards. In the United States, she modeled for Victoria's Secret.Personal lifeOn 22 December 1998, she married French football player Christian Karembeu who is of Austronesian ancestry.
Her incredibly tall frame, 6'1", and equally eye-catching look ensured that she was picked up by New York's Next modelling agency, and Milan's Elite Modelling Agency. But the big career-defining break came after she was chosen as the new Wonder Bra model. The contract was highly lucrative, and propelled her career by providing her immense exposure, in more ways than one.
With a long list of advertisements on her resume, Adrianna has modelled for companies such as Argentovivo, Byron Lars, Laura Biagiotti, Levante Hosiery, List, Love Sex Money, Onyx Jeans, Peroni Beer, Red Point, and Roberto Cavalli.
Adriana's name was in company of other beauties such as Sophie Marceau and Laetitia Casta. This was also the start of a brilliant career as a model in Paris. Though the Peroni Beer campaign really launched Adrianna's career, it also helped establish her as a successful model and the ultimate beer woman.
